New Pictures!!!
I have a lot to share. I just do not have the time to sit down and write it all down... Yesterday we went to Studio 28- the first real cine in Paris. It is amazing and to make it even better, we saw Looking for Eric, which played at Cannes. It was a great film. I recommend it. Something a little funny though- the thick British accent was sometimes too hard to comprehend and I found myself using the French subtitles to figure out what was being said! Talk about irony!
For those that do not know, Studio 28 is in the Montemarte District of France, also known as the Artist District. We were entertained by a gypsy balancing a fishbowl on his head while eating crepes and a drunk (or at least I hope) singing about cheese to our professor.
After the film we walked to Sacre Coeur (Sacred Heart) Cathedral. It is beautiful. We were there at 9PM, so we couldn't go in, but I want to go back so bad. It looks amazing. To top it off, the cathedral is at the top of the Amelie stairs!!! Amazing! If you have never seen Amelie- watch it now!
Today we received the chance to visit Cinematheque Francias. It is amazing. I wish it was bigger. They had more of Edison's inventions, and none of Lumiere's. It was frustrating. Then they didn't mention Bioscope or Edison forcing the Lumiere Bros out of the United States. It was like they wanted to make Edison look like the good guy, which i know is false. Edison actually was a greedy man, like all business men.
I did buy 3 bottles of wine today... all together they cost 4Euros. They are sitting pretty on my shelf right now.
So that is a brief blurb about the past two days... Now a video for your entertainment.
